GraPara! - Ch. 132 - Fumi’s Breasts (Censored)

[diphuc1]

I understand but the story got in a point that almost no return to them ending up together in a way that makes sense and that is satisfying.

Not holding my breath, the 'almost' is there. ShiFumi is a hotfix. Fiction allows for some rule bending, and the satisfaction will come down to execution.

 

[VuongOuki]

Funnily enough on this, she still has a mystery lifeline attached if we see the events before leading up to the move out, how she responded to fucboi's confession in the end. Guarantee if we're shown fucboi and Sakura happy together the hate multiplies. If we instead see that Sakura actually rejected fucboi and is just also flying solo there's a bit of redemption for her there, not much but it'll be something. This is contradicted though by those 3 panels in 131 that not everyone can really come to a singular agreement on.

The 3 panels in chapter 131 are still a mystery; they could also be a dream or Shinobu's imagination. If Airi wants to save Sakura from severe hatred, those 3 panels will only be Shinobu's imagination.

 

[diphuc1]

She rejecting him or not will make her be a little less worse but she literally would have to make a whole arc of redemption to make people hate her a little less and that would be not enought if she does that wrong.Because the author really made a nice job on destroying her FMC in a point that even the NTR fans hate her.

Just give Shinobu and Sakura that face to face moment, make it effective and instantly half the people will start warming up to the idea of Shikura again. Odd as it is to say I don't hate her for what she did, I hate what was done to her by KA, fuckboi, and the blonde bitch wingwoman.

I don't think that would be enought to make their opinions change.(She really damaged her character will a level that i never saw someone doing).I can see a scenario that they make both of them "tied" because they had sex with other person and them they get back together but is really poor writing.

I don't see any scenario that they can be back together after everything happened.

Hardly anyone does, I'm just running on pure faith based cope, and it'll come down to what Katsura Airi sees for the rest of their story in the end anyway. Sometimes you just have to embrace the twisted part of a "mature romance" and see where the ride goes. If the love is still there, well love is silly most of the time anyway.

I'm only thinking in realistic way but it is fiction,so you can have any faith even if is 1% of chance of happening.

 

[VuongOuki]

If Airi wants to forcibly get Shinobu and Sakura back together, she will have a massive headache trying to find a way to solve the Fumi problem. For a girl who has a beautiful, pure love and is ready to sacrifice for the one she loves like Fumi (to the extent of accepting being touched and tickled by that fraud just to help Shinobu get the budget to make his film), even if Airi wants to ruin it, it would be very difficult to think of a plausible scenario.

I think that is really low chances that they get back together as a couple.

Sakura committed the 2 most serious mistakes in love, which are a lack of trust and a lack of infidelity. With a person like that, it is hard to even be friends anymore, let alone get back together and love each other again.

[SS-2010]

Understood, the only one other odd thing with ShiFumi is the no contact during the time skip into sudden confession and sexy time. We'll find out in around 3 more days, and I'll still hang onto my weird gut feeling that Shinobu will get c0ckblocked in some way to ragebait readers a bit more. A lot of people do view this ass "getting even" between the mcs, but its not quite because Shinobu isn't the one cheating.

My point is that i think the author can make a reedemption development for Sakura.

I think the author can make like both of the mcs "tie" because they fucked with other people and make them be back together and becoming the endgame(this is what i don't to happen).

Based on both perspectives, I also believe nothing is standing in the way of Shinobu and Fumi’s "connected".

IMHO, Nagi’s arrival serves to salvage Sakura’s image in the readers' eyes preventing her from becoming even more disliked.

For instance, Sakura tells Nagi she has broken up with Shinobu so he can pursue his dream of becoming a director without worrying about her.

She simply switched agencies but she didn't actually become the fuckboi's girlfriend because Fumi had already messaged her about the situation. She made this decision not only Shinobu could chase his dream but also because she couldn't bear to face him feeling guilty over the rape incident that resulted from her own hasty assumptions.

That's why her message in chapter 130 said "I CANNOT SEE YOU ANYMORE". Instead of "I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU ANYMORE" in case she's still angry at him and really want to break up. It's so much different between "CAN'T" and "DON'T WANT". @box2024 @Alsatia etc. did you guys suspect the message too?

She might read Fumi's message already and knew the truth in the morning after being raped by fucboy.

If we put ourselves in Fumi's shoes, she’s the one who caused the misunderstanding and she already had Sakura's number from when they discussed the gravure work. Wouldn't she do "something" to clear up the confusion she instigated? Do you really think someone like Fumi wouldn't even try to contact Sakura?

If Fumi did nothing more than helping Shinobu with the search that night, it would just be another proof that Airi Katsura (sensei) has no brain resulting in a script that is terrible and riddled with errors.

As for whether they will end up together again, I don't know, but I think the author will do something to reduce the anger directed at Sakura for sure because it affects the sales of volume 13 and 14. They must do something to solve this financial problem. So, Nagi appeared to let Sakura speak...

I agree with you. With Fumi's personality, she would definitely text Sakura to explain everything clearly. But it seems like Airi does not think that way.

 

[A.Tanakaaa]

จากทั้งสองมุมมอง ฉันเชื่อว่าไม่มีอะไรจะมาขวางกั้นความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างชิโนบุและฟุมิได้

ในความคิดของฉัน การมาถึงของนากิช่วยกอบกู้ภาพลักษณ์ของซากุระในสายตาผู้อ่าน ป้องกันไม่ให้เธอถูกเกลียดชังมากขึ้นไปอีก

ตัวอย่างเช่น ซากุระบอกนากิว่าเธอเลิกกับชิโนบุแล้ว เพื่อให้เขาได้ทำตามความฝันในการเป็นผู้กำกับโดยไม่ต้องกังวลเรื่องเธอ

เธอแค่เปลี่ยนสังกัด แต่จริงๆ แล้วเธอยังไม่ได้เป็นแฟนกับไอ้หนุ่มเจ้าชู้คนนั้น เพราะฟุมิได้ส่งข้อความมาบอกเธอเกี่ยวกับสถานการณ์นั้นแล้ว เธอตัดสินใจแบบนี้ไม่เพียงแต่เพื่อให้ชิโนบุได้ไล่ตามความฝันของเขาเท่านั้น แต่ยังเพราะเธอทนไม่ได้ที่จะต้องรู้สึกผิดกับเหตุการณ์ข่มขืนที่เกิดจากการด่วนสรุปของเธอเอง

นั่นเป็นเหตุผลที่ข้อความของเธอในบทที่ 130 บอกว่า "ฉันไม่สามารถพบคุณอีกต่อไปได้" แทนที่จะเป็น "ฉันไม่ต้องการพบคุณอีกต่อไป" ในกรณีที่เธอยังโกรธเขาอยู่และต้องการเลิกกับเขาจริงๆ คำว่า "ไม่สามารถ" กับ "ไม่ต้องการ" มันต่างกันมาก @box2024 @Alsatia ฯลฯ พวกคุณสงสัยในข้อความนั้นด้วยหรือเปล่า?

เธออาจจะอ่านข้อความของฟูมิแล้ว และรู้ความจริงในตอนเช้าหลังจากถูกไอ้ผู้ชายเลวคนนั้นข่มขืน

ถ้าเราลองคิดในมุมมองของฟูมิ เธอนั่นแหละที่เป็นคนก่อให้เกิดความเข้าใจผิด และเธอก็มีเบอร์โทรศัพท์ของซากุระอยู่แล้วตั้งแต่ตอนที่คุยเรื่องงานถ่ายแบบ เธอจะไม่ทำ "อะไรสักอย่าง" เพื่อคลี่คลายความสับสนที่เธอเป็นคนก่อขึ้นเหรอ? คุณคิดจริงๆ เหรอว่าคนอย่างฟูมิจะไม่พยายามติดต่อซากุระเลย?

ถ้าฟุมิทำแค่เพียงช่วยชิโนบุค้นหาในคืนนั้น มันก็จะเป็นเพียงอีกหนึ่งหลักฐานที่แสดงให้เห็นว่าอาจารย์ไอริ คัตสึระไม่มีสมอง ส่งผลให้บทละครแย่และเต็มไปด้วยข้อผิดพลาด

ส่วนเรื่องที่ว่าพวกเขาจะได้กลับมาอยู่ด้วยกันอีกหรือไม่นั้น ฉันไม่รู้ แต่ฉันคิดว่าผู้เขียนจะต้องทำอะไรสักอย่างเพื่อลดความโกรธที่พุ่งเป้าไปที่ซากุระอย่างแน่นอน เพราะมันส่งผลกระทบต่อยอดขายเล่มที่ 13 และ 14 พวกเขาต้องทำอะไรสักอย่างเพื่อแก้ปัญหาทางการเงินนี้ ดังนั้น นากิเลยปรากฏตัวขึ้นเพื่อให้ซากุระได้พูด...

ฉันก็หวังว่าจะเป็นอย่างนั้นเหมือนกัน แต่มีความขัดแย้งอยู่ในบทที่ 131 หน้า 9 และฉันคิดว่านั่นคือความจริง (มันทำให้ฉันเจ็บปวด)

Nothing is certain about the 3 panels except that its fucboi ig.

What do you mean? For ShiKura to be back, KA just needs the following over the next chapters:

1) Shinobu and Fumi have their night together.
2) Sakura knows the truth, is shown to be devastated
3) Fumi is the one who moves away from Shinobu
4) Fuccboi is shown to be an asshole and only dunked on Sakura that one night.
5) Sakura does the heavy lifting, looks for Shinobu and asks for forgiveness

If KA does this, Grapara will have standing ovations from most of the paying customers of the last 3 years.

Step 1 might negate steps 3 and 5 possibly depending on Sakura's mental. It becomes an awkward situation where the truth remains unchanged but Fumi NOW being with Shinobu in a romantic capacity, validates to Sakura her feelings that go way back to that day. It needs not be said though that am in full support of every single step, including step 1 so Fumi team can keep stacking the wins on. The people with the logical realist approach though definitely are going "ain't no way" lol.

When her new friends openly attacked and belittled Shinobu during the moving scene, Sakura did not defend him at all or show any discomfort. Instead, she politely and warmly said to them, “I look forward to getting along with you.” This shows that she was not merely leaving Shinobu because of a misunderstanding or emotional pain. As she entered a new environment, she also silently allowed others to portray Shinobu as the villain, and even chose to accept a new social circle that was openly hostile toward him.

What makes it especially hurtful is that Shinobu had supported her for a long time in her daily life, career, and emotional struggles. Even if their relationship had already ended, Sakura should at least have stopped others from insulting him so casually. Instead, she remained silent. Her silence effectively signaled acceptance of their attacks, while her friendly “I look forward to getting along with you” showed her willingness to become part of that group.

Therefore, Sakura’s problem is not limited to her infidelity or to being taken advantage of by Nakanishi while she was emotionally vulnerable. When she cut ties with Shinobu, she also abandoned the most basic gratitude, respect, and moral responsibility she owed him. This scene makes the defense that “she was merely hurt” or “it was all caused by a misunderstanding” even less convincing.

Sakura cannot simply return to Shinobu, because the problem goes far beyond the fact that she cheated. Her actions damaged not only their romantic relationship, but also the trust, gratitude, respect, and emotional foundation that had been built between them.

1. She genuinely betrayed Shinobu.
   Regardless of whether the cause was a misunderstanding, loneliness, or emotional collapse, she ultimately chose to have a relationship with Nakanishi. This was not merely a moment of emotional confusion; she acted on it.
2. She did not give Shinobu a chance to explain.
   Shinobu had supported her for a long time, yet she did not properly confront him or confirm the truth. Instead, she accepted what she believed she had seen or heard and moved toward another man.
3. A misunderstanding does not excuse betrayal.
   Even if Sakura believed that Shinobu had hurt her first, that did not give her the right to retaliate by cheating. Being hurt does not remove responsibility for the choices she made afterward.
4. It was not just one impulsive mistake.
   If it had happened only once in an extreme emotional state, it might still be described as a serious but isolated failure. However, her continued involvement with Nakanishi turned it into a repeated and conscious choice.
5. She remained silent when her new friends attacked Shinobu.
   During the moving scene, her new friends criticized and belittled him, but Sakura did not defend him or show any discomfort. Instead, she warmly told them, “I look forward to getting along with you.” This showed that she was willing to enter a social circle that was openly hostile toward Shinobu.
6. She failed to protect even Shinobu’s basic dignity.
   Even if their relationship had already ended, Shinobu’s past support was still a fact. Sakura should at least have said that the situation was more complicated or stopped others from casually insulting him. Instead, she chose silence.
7. She abandoned not only love, but also gratitude and loyalty.
   Shinobu had supported her emotionally, professionally, and personally. Yet when she left, she behaved as though all of that could simply be discarded, without gratitude or respect.
8. She continued to see herself mainly as the victim.
   Sakura may believe that everything happened because she thought Shinobu had betrayed her. But as long as she focuses only on her own pain and does not fully acknowledge the pain she caused him, genuine reconciliation is impossible.
9. She did not actively take responsibility.
   Someone who truly wants to return should be the one to explain, apologize, and face the consequences. She should not expect Shinobu to understand her automatically, forgive her, or wait for someone else to resolve the misunderstanding.
10. She chose escape instead of communication.
    Rather than speaking honestly with Shinobu, she moved away, changed her environment, relied on new friends, and became closer to Nakanishi. Her way of dealing with the relationship was avoidance, not repair.
11. Shinobu can no longer trust how she will react in the future.
    Even if the truth is revealed, he would naturally wonder what she might do the next time she feels lonely, pressured, or misunderstood. Would she communicate, or would she run away and choose someone else again?
12. Love may remain, but emotional safety is gone.
    Shinobu may still love Sakura, but love alone is not enough for a relationship. Once trust and emotional security are destroyed, even strong feelings can become a source of pain.
13. A reunion would risk making Shinobu responsible for repairing everything.
    If the story simply asks Shinobu to understand, forgive, and accept Sakura again, then the person who was hurt the most would also be forced to clean up the damage. That would be deeply unfair to him.
14. Sakura has not yet shown enough through her actions.
    Crying, regretting what happened, or missing Shinobu only proves that she is suffering. It does not prove that she has learned how to be honest, faithful, communicative, and accountable.
15. The truth can explain her actions, but it cannot erase them.
    Even if it is later proven that Shinobu never betrayed her, that would only show that Sakura acted based on a misunderstanding. It would not undo what happened between her and Nakanishi.

The core reason Sakura cannot simply come back is that she did not only betray Shinobu romantically. Through her silence, avoidance, and acceptance of a new life that treated him as the villain, she also rejected his past sacrifices and dignity.

Unless Sakura fully admits what she did, apologizes without excuses, accepts the consequences, and understands that Shinobu may never forgive her, “returning” would only mean asking the person she hurt to sacrifice himself once again.
